it is important someone knows first aid. if you are in the restaurant and some cake gets into your airpipe… you want someone to do the heimlich manoevre on you.. to help you get the the food out of your airways.. so you can breathe normal again.. if someone in the street collapses and if there is someone who knows first aid.they can give mouth to mouth and chest compression and someone else can call 911 and if someone has a stroke people who know first aid can often save lives.. so it’s important.can stop bleeding, they know what to do when someone had fall down the stairs.. they know if they move the person of not ..if someone has a bad burn if you know first aid you can make difference between life and death.. but of course 911 has to be called and when they come they take over but the people who know first aid can work on a person and make him or comfortable and sometimes the other person is already on the way to recovery by the time the ambulance gets there…xxx it saves lives to know first aid!!!!

first aid and CPR does save lives
they teach you what to do when some one has a stroke / heart attach/ choking.
to learn the signs of them and to treat them
also they will teach you what to do when some one is hurt broken arm or leg
how to stop bleeding
how to treat a cut.
what to do for a burn (for bad burns what is done in the first few Min’s determines if they person will live)
now the reason they ask you to keep it up to date ( usually every three years or less)
is they are always looking for better ways to do things.
I know how they do CPR is very different now than it was 10 years ago
now they even have a course on how to work the portable
defibrillators that plains and some schools and other places now have.
so knowing that could save a life
and for family and friends if someone hurts themselves you would know what to do.
my Niece fell and I had first aid so I know enough not to move her I kept her very still
knowing this stopped her from ending up in a wheel chair.
so yes it is worth it

In a few words the aim of first aid is “To preserve life”. If you can keep a person’s blood circulating until medical aid arrives then you have increased the person’s chance of surviving.
The importance of it should be obvious! lol
